Hmmm someone on Facebook just sent me a message asking if I was doing Maths at Bath University. What gave her that idea?

Ah Newsbeat are doing their silly times again, news on the half hour with none at 5pm.

This is such a tune. Was brilliant just under 24 hours ago getting crushed and jumping up and down like crazy to this song. Bloc Party are really great live, Colin Murray was right when he introduced them.

She don't think straight! Damn those lesbians.

Hehe there were some lesbians next to me during Bloc Party and Arcade Fire actually.

Getting heavy with a bevvy. You send in photographs of yourself listening to the tunes with your favourite tipple.

In Rock Music We Thrust. Partners send in photographs of them making whopee to the music.

The guy in the tent behind mine was rocking out with his c*ck out last night. Thankfully the angle of the tent saved me from seeing but my (male) friend was having a good look. We had some strange neighbours.

BBC never go any further than Reading for their coverage. They had their logo all over Leeds and Colin Murray even made the odd appearance but they still seem to only show Reading footage. *mutters*

Still, this one was quite good live, although Californication and By The Way were better.

Because everyone knows it's about Reading when it comes to Reading and Leeds.

I wish they'd say when Scott isn't doing a normal show, it should be entitled "The Scott Mills Show without Chappers" or something. They should let the skeleton staff do this or let Scott do his own thing. I'm off to get some food methinks!

...except that Leeds was one of the few festivals this year that wasn't flooded. So definitely a good choice to go up north. Despite it being completely dry, there were still patches of mud around from people being careless at the water points, spilt beer etc..

Radio 1 is starting to sound like Virgin Radio with this indie and rock. That's the only station I've heard play Size Of A Cow.

I thought I'd never heard of the tune by the Doves but I must have, it just doesn't stick in the mind somehow.

Who thought it'd be a good feature to talk to people travelling and ask them where they were and what car they were in? It holds no fascination for me at all. Even Scott can't really do much to make anything out of such a dull feature. Lets hope one of the travellers turns out to be a dyed in the wool looney or the gir who stole his wallet or something.

Quality though a lot of it is this old music is something that can be heard anytime - most people have all the classics on their ipods. It's just a waste of Scott having him present something like this, the only glimmer of his usual entertaining style was when he spoke to the people who were out of petrol and a bit lost on a boat.

Oh and calling himself "Scott Mills Lord of Rock" :D

I was reading about Mange Du Kebabs last night. Sounds amazing to me.

"Here is the Kingdom of Grease,

Our place has oriental odours that will stay on your clothes,

We turn the spit, how we sweat,

The girls love that - it attracts them!"

Ahh, pity that Jono. Working with the MP though? Cmon, i know you can think of something more exciting than that!

But newspaper features aren't meant to be exciting, they're meant to be interesting and local!

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
